So he set out to understund a young nation in na anguished struggle for freedom against its Spanish overlords, only to be caught in the crossroads of the ensuing conflict between the valiant Filipinos struggling to create their own destiny, and America`s first ambitious adventure in expansionism. Against this backdrop, he meets the fiery, unpredictable Coring, and his consuming love for her changes their lives forever. Coring del Pilar could not resist being drawn to Tom, the unassuming, idealistic foreginer who had come from America with an insatiable curiosity about her country. She welcomed his support for the heroic efforts of her brothers and her countrymen in their struggle against Spain, but felt betrayed and broken when America, the friend-turned-enemy, changed from being a liberator to being the new colonizer. When the Philippine-American war broke out, she saw Tom the soldier taking up arms against her brothers and his friend, and Coring felt her world was coming to an end. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK lisuga 2018-02-19 11:26:00 jderpo 2018-05-03 11:29:11 10077 10023 10023 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 FIL 895.9599 Or26w 2002 HS1500 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
